Creator and developer of a office wide employee training manual.

I developed our office employee training manual to ensure accuracy  and consistency. The manual is a complete guide for assistants to refer to for step-by-step training to ensure that they are familiar with  the setups, details of the individual dentist preferences, and it also is coming from the perspective of a dental assistant so it translates easily.
